Jorora · Detention & Accessorial Audit
Hold accessorials that were never authorized.
Liftgate, detention, layover, lumper — only clear when the rate con authorizes them and evidence supports the math.
How it works
One problem. One decision path.
AI extracts. Rules decide. Your desk stays in control of payment.
- 01
Check authorization on the rate con
If the accessorial is not authorized (or all-in already covers it), it should not sail to pay.
- 02
Demand evidence for exception charges
Detention needs timestamps and free-time math. Lumper needs a receipt when your RC requires it.
- 03
Queue thin evidence for humans
Needs Review keeps judgment with the desk — Reject stops obvious unauthorized fees.
Documents compared
What goes into the packet
Bring the documents the pay decision actually needs — nothing more.
- Carrier Invoice with accessorial lines
- Rate Confirmation (authorization + free time / rates)
- POD with arrival/delivery timestamps for detention
- Lumper receipt when billed
Why trust the decision
Explainable before cash moves
Trust comes from a trail — not from promising magic savings.
- Broker dispute reality: without POD timestamps, detention fights fail.
- Rules encode free time and evidence requirements — not vibes.
- Dispute-ready reasons cite what was missing or unauthorized.
Why AI is more reliable here
Read with AI. Decide with rules.
Carrier PDFs are messy. Pay authorization should not be.
- AI finds accessorial lines across chaotic invoice layouts.
- Math and authorization stay deterministic.
- Your team reviews gray cases; software clears the obvious holds.
